Welcome to poppy heaven; a collection of all things to do with poppies
Welcome to my poppy heaven. I love poppies...I grow them, write about them and like things decorated with them. So what better than to make a place where all these poppy related things can be gathered together.
Alongside some beautiful poppy photographs and prints,there are links to my writings about the poppy family, and links to places where you can buy things decorated with poppies from poppy T shirts and poppy dinner plates to poppy seeds. You can also learn how to grow poppies from all over the world, and for fun there are a few quizzes, and some bizarre poppy facts that you may or may not know. Have a wander around...I do hope you enjoy your visit here.

Summer set lip to earth's bosom bare,
And left the flushed print in a poppy there:
Like a yawn of fire from the grass it came,
And the fanning wind puffed it to flapping flame.

- I've always liked poppies, but haven't grown them very much. I didn't realize they came in so many colors. Very nicely assembled here.

- I guess I didn't know many facts about Poppies until now. They are very beautiful flowers, as well as this lens. - I once grew Poppies in my vegetable garden, I had no idea how they got there, because I didn't plant any. Wonderful photos and information.
